My pc configuration is in my signature. Just want to ask that what parts do i need to upgrade to enjoy all new games at 1024x768. Settings-high. Resolution not more than 1024x768 and not even less. Because i have a 15" LCD and it looks best at this rsolution.

Will a 8600 GT be good enough?
And DDR RAM is very expensive. If i upgrade to a new mobo supporting ddr2 then will current cpu will be supported? For e.g: Will a 965 mobo support a p4? I guess not.And my current mobo has a crippled pcie slot that runs at 4x rather than 16x. So? Any suggestions?

8600GT is very decent. Also if your P4 is LGA which i am sure it is, then 965 will support it,so you have the option of buying a DDR2 board :)

Yes my cpu is a LGA 775 pin. So it will be supported on 965 mobo. Can u give me an option of a good 965 based motherboard? Should not be too heavy on pocket and should give good performance in gaming.

you can go for XFX 650i ultra for 5.4K. very good for OC'ing. but u need a graphics card since there is no onboard graphics.

Will it will be available here? And what about service entres? I don't want to go to delhi for just getting it repaired or replaced.
